From their inception, Righteous Vendetta has never been comfortable with sitting still. After releasing two full-length albums on Red Cord Records and touring extensively on that material, they decided it was time for a change. “We finished our 2011 release Lawless and started thinking what we were going to do next. After some ideas were tossed around, we decided to try something that would really challenge our songwriting skills and push us to our creative limits. So we took the intensity and high-energy of our older metalcore sound and tried to take it in a more appealing direction”, writes guitarist Justin Olmstead. The result of this new direction was their single “This Pain”, which spent fifteen weeks in the Top 20 on Billboard’s Christian Rock chart. Since then they’ve hit the ground running with the independently released Righteous Vendetta, Vol. I. Though the band’s style has changed with their latest release, their brand of hook-infused rock has found fans on the airwaves and at venues throughout the country. Their newest single, “The Fire Inside”, has spent more than a dozen weeks on the Christian Rock chart, peaking at #9 and sharing the Top 10 with the likes of Skillet, Red, and P.O.D.
Even after nearly a thousand shows to date, the band’s touring schedule is as busy as ever. Last year, Righteous Vendetta made their performance debut in Europe, playing to packed venues in Germany, Austria, the Czech Republic, Poland, and more. This year they’ve already supported Hurt and Smile Empty Soul as the first installment in a series of major tours, followed by runs with Trapt, Taproot, and 10 Years, playing more than sixty dates with some of the biggest names in hard rock.
The band recently recorded their third full-length record The Fire Inside with Milwaukee-based producer Joel Wanasek at JTW Studios. “The new record is sure to be one of the biggest, hardest hitting mixes in the genre,” said vocalist Ryan Hayes. “It’s heavy, catchy, melodic, and will have you singing every chorus after the first time you hear it.” Armed with a melodic, infectious sound and a habit of hitting venues across the nation hard, fast, and often, Righteous Vendetta is destined to make waves. Look for their new record The Fire Inside this fall.

You might see something you can't shake
It'll be stuck in your mind
But your mind can be your greatest weapon
Or your own worst enemy
It just depends how far you let it go
Call me hopeful, call me crazy
Get out get out there's only one way to end this it's never the way intended
Get out get out or I'll never make it alive without me you cannot survive without me you die
Get out get out there's only one way to end this it's never the way intended
Tonight belongs to us
A perfect night to fall in love
When the darkness comes
It gets dangerous
Falling in love with my demons
The edge of sanity was never a safe bet
A fine line never hurt anyone
It just seems to get in my head
But my head can be my greatest weapon
Or your own worst enemy
It just depends how far they get inside
I keep my mind hidden when they get to me
Get out get out or I'll never make it alive without me you cannot survive without me you die
Get out get out there's only one way to end this it's never the way intended
Get out get out or I'll never make it alive without me you cannot survive without me you die
Get out get out there's only one way to end this it's never the way intended
Tonight belongs to us
A perfect night to fall in love
When the darkness comes
It gets dangerous
Falling in love with my demons
Falling in love with my demons
I keep my thought confined to every corner of consciousness, that way the demons can't get to them
Tonight belongs to us
Tonight belongs to us
A perfect night to fall in love
When the darkness comes
It gets dangerous
Falling in love with my demons
The song "Daemons" by Righteous Vendetta is an intense and emotional song about battling personal demons. The lyrics suggest that the mind can be your greatest weapon or your own worst enemy, depending on how far you allow your thoughts to wander. The singer implores us to stay focused and centered or risk falling in love with our own demons.
The verses of the song are almost like a warning, urging the listener to resist temptation and stay on the right path. The chorus is more desperate, with the singer pleading with the demons to leave and warning them that there is only one way to end their hold on him. The bridge expresses a fear of losing control and letting the demons take over.
All in all, "Daemons" is a powerful and emotional song with deep meaning about the constant battle we face within our own minds.
